Climate and the Individual: Inter-Annual Variation in the Autumnal Activity of the European Badger (Meles meles)
Figure 1
Mean daily TEMP over the study periods.
Mean daily air temperature (TEMP) over the course of the study periods in 2010 and 2012. Between the two years, we found no difference in daily TEMP (ANOVA: F[1,116] = 1.692, p = 0.196), nor between TEMP variability (2010: CV 27.8%, n = 58; 2012: CV = 27.1%, n = 60; Levene's: F[1,116] = 0.662, p = 0.432) but 2012 proved significantly colder (daily TEMP 4°C cooler) than 2010 (paired sample t-test: t32 = −8.352, p<0.0005) over matched calendar dates.
